Isekai.. The Legend of Supreme Magus Beginning (Isekai.. Legend of the Supreme Magus Begins)

Argus who saw the woman passed out once again tried to wake her up many times but he did not wake up either.

In the end Argus who could not wear the clothes to him only covered him with a robe.

After that Argus brought the woman back to the village, at the gate Argus explained briefly to the gatekeeper.

"Alright I'll take note of your report. But we still have to wait for this woman to wake up first to know the details of the incident. " Said Braga the gatekeeper.

"Well, I'll leave it here.

I will return to the Guild and hand over the Quest I took before.

If you still need me for another report, you can look for me through the Guild." Argus said as he prepared to leave.

At that time Braga noticed on the neck of the woman there was a symbol resembling a circle. And there's a key sign there.

"Bro Wait a minute..! " Say Braga stopped Argus from leaving.

"Yes. Is there anything else..? " Task Argus.

"It looks like this woman is a slave. And moreover, the owner is likely dead.

You're pretty lucky, Bro.." Braga

"Slave..?" Argus was watching this Elf woman again.

He didn't see any slave collars in the game, so Argus didn't notice.

"Where do you know she's a slave..? And again you can even know the owner is dead..?

Do you have any unique skills..? "

"No, it's not like that.. Did you see the mark on his left neck..?

It was the mark of a child. " Said Braga

Argus also began to pay attention to it, there is a sign or symbol that Argus has never seen.

"What does the symbol of the circle mean..? " Tell Argus

"Yes. The symbol is a symbol of the slave.

And if in the center of the circle of the slave symbol there is no symbol or other sign then it means that it is a Slave without a Master. " Said Braga.

"So what should I do..?? " Argus was quite confused by the current situation.

"A Slave without a Master, there are only two possibilities.

First, He must get a new owner and in a case like yours it will belong to the first person to find it."

"Second, if he has no owner. So he was not allowed to enter any other city or village.

Worst of all, he would have to live in the wild, and he would be sold by a slave sword if found.

Or if he's found by someone else, he can't fight whatever that guy's doing. Because he is a Slave and that person will become a master for discovering him. " Said Braga

"Damn, it looks like I'm involved with something complicated.. " Said Argus.

"Not really, you just need to verify the status of master and slave with him.

Or you can sell it back to the slave merchant, and if you don't want to either.

I suggest you just kill him, because if you throw him away there's a chance he'll kill himself, too. " Say Braga while drinking his drink.

"Selling slaves is not my style, I will not sell slaves at all.

And killing him is impossible. How do I kill an innocent person or even fight back..? " Said Argus.

"Too you just have to make him your slave instead. She also looks beautiful. " Said Braga.

"Why don't you just take it..? " Said Argus

"That's impossible, even if I get paid I can't.

As I said before, the Slave without the lost Master will belong to the first person to find him.. " Said Braga

"And if someone else wanted to take it, he would have to go to the slave sword to make a new Master Slave contract with him.

And the slave sword is only in the capital, where can I leave my job and go to the capital..? "

"Do I also have to go to the capital to make a contract as well..? " Tell Argus

"No. If it's the first person to see it, then you can make a contract anywhere as long as there is an identification crystal ball like the one I used to create your identity before.

Or the ones in the adventurer Guild. " Said Braga.

"Oh so it turns out.. " Said Argus.

As the two of them were still chatting, the Elf Woman started to wake up. He looked around in a daze.

"Ukhh where is this..? "

"Oh you're up, great.. This will make things easier.

First introduce, my name is Braga, the captain of the village gatekeeper Sotou of Isak city.

This is Argus Okinawa, yes he should be your next new Master if nothing else. " Said Braga

"Then, can you introduce yourself and why are you being carried by the Goblin herd..? "

" Yes.. Alright.

My name is Lisa, I am a Half Elf.

The previous master who bought me was a merchant, on the way. We encountered a herd of Goblins numbering over 60, and there was a Goblin King in one of them. "

Lisa's words.

"My master previously hired a Rank C adventurer party to escort us, but they were all destroyed.

And to buy time, my Master told me to go as bait so that he could escape.

I couldn't resist it either, but my master was hit by one of the arrows from the Goblin and killed. "

"After that I don't remember anything anymore, and all I know next is that I just saw her (while pointing at Argus) and while for the herd the Goblins have been killed and fed by a pretty big herd of ant monsters. " Lisa told me what had happened to her. And at the end of the story Lisa can not resist the creeps when remembering a herd of ants biting and eating the Goblins.

"Ant monster..? " Say Braga looked at Argus for confirmation.

"Oh, that's my family. " Say Argus while taking out one of his ants.

Braga was a little surprised by this ant monster, because he did not recognize it at all.

As for Lisa, she had already fainted again this time, Argus who saw Lisa once again faint could only smile wryly.

"If he becomes my slave and passes out every time he sees my family, it will be very troublesome.. " Murm Argus

Did this come from the Orasis Forest..? " Tanya Braga's.

"Orasis Forest.? " Murm Argus. Argus recalled that it might be better to hide the origin of these ants, knowing that anyone capable of turning ordinary animals into monsters might cause panic and unnecessary trouble.

Once again Argus thought about the status of his, it seemed like Every one within the status of Argus was increasingly directing Argus to become a Demon King.

Argus began to think about whether the gods wanted Argus to be the Demon King of this world..?

"Forget it, I just need to live my life the way I want to.

I can't ask the gods. " Murm Argus.

"Yes, I got them from the Orasis Forest.

Fire Dragon Ant Type. That's the name I know. " Answer to Braga.

"The Fire Dragon Ant..? " Return Braga.

"Bro, I suggest it's better to keep a secret about this type of Familyar of yours, I can guarantee that if anyone finds out about your Familyar's name.

It will cause trouble for you.. "

"What I do know, all that is near or contains the Dragon element is a very powerful being.

So it is better to keep his name as much as possible. " Said Braga

"I'll remember that. Thanks though.. " Answer Argus

"Then she..? "

Argus looked at Lisa who was still unconscious. Braga was also speechless, usually the Elves were quite strong. And Braga had never seen an Elf or the others would faint upon seeing a monster.

Considering Lisa fainted upon seeing Argus contract monster who incidentally will become the next Master Lisa, Braga understands the difficulties that Argus will face in the future.

"I can only pray for you.. " Say Braga patted Argus on the shoulder.

After waiting for a while, Lisa finally regained consciousness.

"So Argus, are you going to take Lisa as your slave or are you going to sell her back..? " Tanya Braga

"Master, please make me your slave. I'll do whatever you ask.. " Lisa suddenly pleads with Argus.

The reason Lisa begged Argus was because she thought Argus was good enough. He helped her before that, and he didn't do any strange things to her body either. Even Argus healed the wounds he had suffered.

And most importantly, Lisa sees Argus as very different from everyone else.

If it was anyone else, it was certain that they would be very excited upon seeing the Elf slaves.

However, Argus was not interested at all and saw Lisa as an ordinary person, not a slave.

That's why Lisa begged Argus to be her Master.

"This..? " Seeing Lisa begs Argus, she is increasingly confused as to what she should do..

Argus thought about what he would do, if he took Lisa off. There's a chance he'll kill himself, even if it's not Argus' fault. But it still makes Argus feel guilty.

And he can't sell it, Argus doesn't want to sell people like things.

"There's something I'm going to ask you, the answer will probably determine if I'm going to take you or not. " Said Argus.

"Please, I'll answer anything. " Answer Lisa.

Braga standing at the side was also looking forward to what Argus was asking.

She was also curious about Lisa, so she waited for what questions Argus would ask.

"Can you cook..? " Task Argus.

"Yes, I've been used to being independent since childhood, so I can cook. " Answer Lisa.

"good. I'll take you as my partner. " Said Argus.

"Huhh...?? That only..? " She screams Lisa and Braga.

"You're just asking about cooking..? " Tanya Braga's.

"What should I ask.? " Task Argus back to the two.

"Ehh..? " Lisa and Braga don't know what to answer..

"At least you should ask if he has any fighting ability or not.? Or whatever his ability.

And most importantly should you ask if he's still a prawan..? " Said Braga

Lisa who heard that her face turned red.

"Ehh.. Is that what people should ask under these circumstances..? " Task Argus.

"A... That's... " Braga doesn't know what to answer.

"Yes, I don't need any help fighting.

My family has been enough of a help to me.. " Answer Argus

When remembering the Argus family, even though Braga has not seen their number and fighting strength. But given the name of their race and also their appearance Braga could not argue..

"Forget it, you better take it to the Guild immediately to make a contract with him as soon as possible to avoid trouble.. " Said Braga.

"Well, before that... " Argus looked at the contents of his inventory.

There Argus still keeps some clothes.

Then Argus remade the clothes with his skills to fit the women's clothes.

Argus made black clothes with a white coat and black trousers.

"You can change into this before we leave, I'll wait outside. "

After giving up the outfit, Argus and Braga waited outside for Lisa to change.

Lisa came out with new clothes that Argus gave her.

"Master, these clothes are too expensive and don't seem to suit me. " Said lisa.

"Not really, it suits you.. You look beautiful in that shirt. " Said Argus.

"Let's head to the adventurer Guild to renew your contract. "

"Emmm.. " Answer Lisa blushing when she hears Argus reply.

Then Argus and lisa started walking towards the adventurer Guild.
